Current Events Quiz 9/17-21

1. Which presidential candidate was in the news because of what he said to potential campaign donors in a secret video released this week?
Mitt Romney. DUH.

2. Fast-checkers immediately went after one point in the video: The candidate said WHAT about 47 percent of Americans?

“There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that’s an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what…These are people who pay no income tax... my job is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives…. The president has been a disappointment. He told you he’d keep unemployment below 8 percent. Hasn’t been below eight percent since. Fifty percent of kids coming out of school can’t get a job. Fifty percent.”

— Mitt Romney, speaking at a private fundraiser in a May 17 video released by Mother Jones magazine.
